Newbury Building Society is appointing Lyndsey Hayes as its new chief risk officer. She replaces current longstanding CRO, Lee Bambridge, later this month.
Hayes joined Newbury in May and she has over 20 years of experience in risk management and compliance roles, including managing a multi-billion pound retail mortgage portfolio at Barclays and senior risk roles at Coutts and Royal Bank of Scotland in the UK, Jersey, and Gibraltar.
Most recently, she was CRO at a fintech start-up, establishing the risk framework and obtaining accreditation from the British Business Bank to enable Enterprise Finance Guarantee-backed lending.
Hayes will have overall responsibility for risk and compliance will become a member of a number of executive committees, as well as attend the risk and audit committees.
